I was doing a manual delete stuff from the C drive in order to free up some space and i deleted all files in some windows temp folder, can't remember where on C: and since then i can't update software or uninstall.

it asks me for some file on a cd-rom or removable drive and can't continue.

So, what do I do now?

So I can't get into wondows after reboot, i can't get into recovery mode. It says recovery mode in text in all the corners for fale safe but the screen just keeps occasionaly flickering and it stops there, no desktop loaded. i booted up advanced recovery and tried all the alternatives there, reset pc, recovery etc. nothing works. i think i'll just reinstall after i copy over all the files to my second pc.

thank you for your reply

Probably the best idea. Once you've got basic Windows and drivers configured, make sure the first program you use (and create its boot medium too so you can recover a non-bootable PC) is a disk imaging program e.g. Macrium Reflect (free). You'll need an external disk or other medium say at least 3 times as big as what you're backing up.

The boot medium you then need is that for the imaging program you've chosen.

Hiren's Boot CD isn't UEFI compatible last I knew, and is a collection of utilities on mini XP, like Bart's. Both rather dated (I think). Nothing to do with partition/disk imaging.
Don't know what the other 2 are, sorry.

Hello
I recently installed 2 updates from NVIDEA.
I have run disc clean up and Ccleaner>Windows but this attachment says it all.
I could use 'Unlocker' but do not want to do damage if the file should not be removed.
Do you have any suggestions?...

Hi folks,
Bit confused here.
To the best of my knowledge you can only defer Windows 10 Updates if you have the Pro version.
Is there a way to selectively install/uninstall updates in any version?
Also, what is this "update blocking" tool...
